Spring Garden Planning | VLOG

[@christymiller6350]

I have seeds coming today from MiGardener! I'm SO EXCITED!!!! Our garden has not been the best the last 2 summers because I got back into kayak racing after a 10 year break, and have spent the last 2 summers training and doing a 340 mile race across MO, so the garden got put on the " back burner". I have a renewed motivation for the garden now, and will concentrate on it more this year! I want to do more medicinal herbs, so can't wait to see what you're doing! Congratulations on 100,00 subscribers, and ooooh that Ivy June...cannot even handle her and all her silly cuteness!😆🥰

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

I hope you have the most successful garden this year

Thank you so much 😊

[@tracihobbs6243]

I love the more relaxed content, feels more like just a chat with a friend! So excited for the podcast coming up soon😊

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

We’re looking forward to it too! Matter of fact, we filmed the first episode today and it will drop next Wednesday

[@HabitualHobbies]

I personally love the messy, chaotic content. Vlog style is my favorite, but you always manage to squeeze in some knowledge. Congrats on 100k !! I'm so excited to get back into the garden and follow along in yours! P.s. are you guys thinking about attending any Baker Creek fests this year!?

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

Thank you for the support, we're so glad you enjoy the content. We won’t be making any of the Baker Creek events. We have a pretty full schedule of events lined up this year

[@mother8576]

Congratulations on your 100k. I love your new style of videos now. I'm so happy you are growing food again. Don't let Jessica watch is video she will blow her top if she knew you was going to through seeds away, you can always send them to me.

[@suzieq763]

100k subs ya. All that time and effort your family has put into the Chanel has paid off.

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

Thank you, it's been a fun and rewarding journey!

[@pattyharris2992]

Love it! 💕

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

So glad you do!

[@debibaber4392]

Im saying this with a smile on my face, but when I watched you cut the cardboard with scissors my shoulders hunched all up. I have scissors for different fabric, vinyl, leather, for use in the kitchen. So I had to smile to myself for being so silly about my scissors. :)

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

😂 I was too lazy to go grad anything else

[@herbhometales8255]

Thank you for sharing! Decisions on space use is so important for a smaller garden.. years ago usda published a victory garden book with harvest estimates etc. goals! Goals! Goals! I e been so focused on medicinal herbs that I’ve kind of fallen on my face on veggies 😂

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

It is easy to get distracted and I love having a focus.

[@angelakaufman6153]

100k! Congratulations! ❤

[@jaclynfrank]

Love the vlog, need some extra motivation to start seeds and need help getting excited about the garden again. Last summer kicked my butt and I didn’t do anything over this winter. We also thought we would have to move this summer so I was scared to plant garlic, but this video has helped me get a little spark started I think! Also, love that yellow couch. It looks cozy. Happy 6 months to Ziggy!

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

Oh yay!! I hope you find joy in creating your garden this year

[@marilynclayton3430]

100k! Congratulations 🎉

[@Peacefulmountainliving]

I just received your book The Tiny but Mighty Farm and i love it!!! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. ❤

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

Thank you for the kind words! I’m so glad to hear you’re loving my book. I hope it inspires you to grow the best garden this year

[@ParisStrange]

Congrats on 100k!😊

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

Thank you so much! 🙏

[@sharonknorr1106]

Just finished this week with my seed inventory and am in the process of putting together an order - made up a spreadsheet to see who has what and at what price. We do have a large local nursery that carries a lot of the seed vendors that I use, so going to visit them this week to see what I can get locally before I start paying shipping costs online. Looking forward to the next family vlog.

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

Sounds like a great plan! I'm always happy to find local sources first.

[@tammynevil7852]

Jess, would be crying over the seeds thrown out, but I understand organization sometimes means tossing some stuff out

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

By “tossing” i meant keeping in a 5 gallon bucket for Nate to plant for our pigs. I should have clarified that. We aren’t throwing away but reusing them for the animals

[@tammynevil7852]

@@WhisperingWillowFarm great idea!!!

[@SharonKarkara25]

I hope Nathan is working on the shop. Love seeing you.❤ Blessings

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

I’m working hard revamping these growing spaces at the moment. Our goal is to start working on the shop in July

[@alorastewart7091]

I overbuy seeds like crazy and always have lol we can afford it so I just started calling it a collection and I'm working on saving my own seeds as much as possible so I'm no longer rebuying the same kinds of seeds. i definitely bought some duplicates this year thinking i was out and i wasnt so i definitely need to go through what i have before ordering next year. I map out my garden spaces first including any new spaces I'm adding and I get a vague idea of what types of things I want to grow. My food goals are less about growing for us and more practicing growing all kinds of things to potentially do market gardening so the goal is just get the practice in and hone in the skills. I used seed time to tell me when I need to start seeds for everything I'm starting and wrote it out and then took all the seeds and put them in a bucket in rows that are in order of when they need to be started so I can work through it start to finish.

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

I love your approach! It’s so helpful to have a system like this.

[@lindsaysanderson6853]

Same zone! Been garden planning too! ❤ I’m wondering when you’re planting some of the cold crops?

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

We will be planting carrots, radishes, and beets real soon. We just harvested all our broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage recently

[@sherirae]

Hi Jill, I followed along with you even though I an in late summer. I don't need to purchase any seeds! But I do need to review and plan out my garden. The total area is approx. 10x4 metres Not very big so I will have to plan it out well.

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

Sounds like you are going to do some companion planting. Have you checked out the Seedtime website? There is a free version that will help you to maximize your space.

[@feliciapace2331]

Just got my final order of seeds for spring veggies & flowers - getting excited!!!😊😊

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

That is so exciting! Happy planting!

[@christinehbailey]

🎉Just ordered my planner!!

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

I hope you find it helpful

[@angiemusil7886]

I got my planner a few weeks ago and I love it!!

[@rachelgalus]

Such a fun video! And that thumbnail is 🔥

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

Thank you! We had a lot of fun making it! 😁

[@chrij1987]

So excited to see this vlog - I am a long way out for planting - but seed starting next month.

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

Yay!! Thanks for watching

[@kansasmisfit7404]

I'm looking through Bakers Creek catalog and hopefully getting to order what I want to grow.

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

I love looking through seed catalogs

[@denisemusicnut]

Most seeds remain viable for many years, except a few like carrots and onions. You might be discarding perfectly good seeds! Doing a germination test before discarding older seeds could save you some money.

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

Great tip, we'll have to try that.

[@marykeffalas3700]

Congratulations on your 100k subscribers !

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate the support!

[@sandrad682]

I loved the video!. Also, thanks for mentioning the Badger Flame beet. I am ordering seeds. Have you tried the Delfino cilantro?

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

Thank you and you’re welcome. We don’t grow much cilantro because Nate is the only one that likes it

[@AmberLennox]

As part of self sufficiency will you be saving your own seeds for next year?

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

We save lots of seeds but not from every variety

[@VirginiaReyes1983]

Love your content! Congrats on 100,000 subs! ALSO, I totally need ALL your clothes. I love your style. Where did you get that pink linen wrap at the end of the vid? Blessings on this gardening season!

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

Thank you so much!! My Shaw came from Target

[@andikerr3809]

How do you store your onions Mine are in a paperbag in the mud room but they never make it long

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

After hanging them to dry a week, we chop off the tops and store them on old newspaper in a dark pantry

[@andikerr3809]

@@WhisperingWillowFarm thank you

[@jeffkey3158]

Hello, will you be planting Chamomile an if so do you have any tips on how you get that started as I’ve had no luck with it, and also do you trellis the mini cucumbers??

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

I always start my chamomile indoors and nurture it until it’s time to transplant. Also make sure you aren’t overwatering it. Check out this video showing our cucumber trellis kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5DHpoqoac1loc0si=KeZQPZwnDe_-6RkV

Nathan must be building a greenhouse high tunnel.

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

I’m currently revamping some growing spaces to make them more manageable

[@gardener5158]

Hi Jill, I've been following you for a short while & I was wondering, do you all have a root cellar where you store potatoes, onions and such?

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

@@gardener5158 hey there! We do not, but we do have a basement and a pretty decent laundry room with an extra room and that’s where we are storing these things
